Do you have a second? Maybe grab a cup of coffee? I’ll wait. I really just want to hang here for a minute and chat with you. My people. My friends.
It’s never a good sign when your faith literally falls and crumbles. I got home on Saturday night and heard a bang. When I opened my bedroom door and saw this, I couldn’t help but laugh a little to myself.
Figures, I said.
It’s been a rough few months, friends. Sure, there are little things that pile up and those just suck. But those are easy. Those you just get through somehow, you know?
But the big things? The big things aren’t as cut and dry. The last few months I’ve found myself navigating a foreign adult territory. There are times in your life when you can clearly see definition. Does that make sense? A moment in time between what was and what is now. Before and after.
I have a collection of those moments in my life. And usually as they’re happening, I’m aware. Some are obvious. Graduation. Marriage. Moving. Some are less obvious.
I think we feel the ones that are less obvious more. We prepare for The Big Ones. We know The Big Ones are coming. The ones that come out of the blue and sucker punch you? Yeah, those suck.
The thing is, you just do it. You don’t know how, but you do. Fake it until you make it. You try to keep your head above the water for so long that before you realize it, you’ve learned to swim.

Polishes used: WnW Megalast: Careful it’s Vine-tage (fall limited edition) & Color Club: Harp On It
- Saturday was my favorite this week. We had such a nice tailgate (thanks to Katie for actually getting us organized!) and it was such a nail biter game (maybe not my favorite so much). But pulling out a win setting the camels up with a 4-0 record in conference for the year definitely was a favorite!
- The fall limited edition WnW megalast polishes! They dry to a satin finish (not my fave but totally on trend right now) and they’re stinking cheap! I found mine at CVS. My sweet friend Dena says that Rite Aid has 40% off WnW this week so be sure to stock up while you can (that deal ends on Saturday at 11:59–so go quick)!
- All the support I’ve received over the youtube relaunch! This is definitely something so fun for me so the fact that you guys are actually liking it is a total bonus!! Thanks for subscribing and spreading the word!
- Having to be an adult. It’s kind of exhausting.
- There aren’t enough hours in the day. Do any of you ever feel that way? Or is it just me all the time?

>> I went out to dinner on Tuesday night with some Raleigh bloggers!! It was so awesome to get to see all these sweet girls in person and swap stories! They’re all gorgeous fashion bloggers (and we all know I am so not a fashion blogger) so they all look put together and I look homeless. I’m owning it hah!
>> I spent most of the day on Wednesday tackling my house. How does it get so out of control. Especially the laundry. I mean, really. It was out of control! I’m working on implementing some kind of schedule for my cleaning stuff. If and when I figure that out–I’ll share it.
>> I’m so tired by the time I finally crawl into bed (which let’s face it…has been around 8:30/9PM lately) I can hardly make it through any reading before I zonk out. I need to find more time to get in some reading time. It’s taking an embarrassing amount of time to get through my current book.
>>I haven’t been writing. I know. I wish I had an excuse. I don’t. Instead I’ve been throwing myself into a lot of other things. Along with the cleaning schedule, I’m working on getting a better grasp of all of my hats. I wear a lot, in case you were wondering.
>> My cat ate my freaking planner. Not my dog. My cat. I’d use this as the perfect excuse to buy myself the Emily Ley daily planner…but you know I won’t drop that number of dollar bills on a planner. They sure are pretty though!
>> I’ve been making myself more at home on this campus. I know it’s silly to say that now considering I’ve lived here for over 1.5 years now (gosh, has it really been that long?) but I’ve always felt a little out of place because I don’t work here and I don’t go to school here. But you know what? Living on campus has its perks. And walking to the coffee shop (we just got a starbucks–a real live starbucks) and walking to grab lunch and just walking everywhere in general is definitely nice. Especially now that J and I are sharing a car. I’m not trapped in the house all day if I don’t want to be (and I really needed to get out of the habit of not leaving for days and days–that’s not good for anyone).

I could elaborate.
But do I really need to?
